Welcome to the April 2021 InKing Royalty Blog Hop! During this year’s blog hops, we are having fun with our stamping favorites – our favorite themes for seasonal cards and projects. This month’s projects feature a mix of butterflies and dragonflies – just in time for Spring. We are excited to share our creations with you today! I used some brand new products from the upcoming 2021-2022 Annual Catalog: The Etched in Nature stamp set, Basic Borders Dies, Tailor Made Tags Dies, and 3 of the new 2021-2023 In Colors (Soft Succulent, Pale Papaya, and Polished Pink.)

After you read my post, I hope you’ll hop over to the next person on the list at the base of this post, Sheryl Sharp at Sharp Notes by Sheryl.

• sentiment in Polished Pink ink onto a scrap of Basic White Thick CS
• butterfly in Pale Papaya ink onto a scrap of Basic White Thick CS

Assembled the card:
